Sport, and Other Bullshit Excuses

I am so fucking tired of grown-ass people living vicariously via professional sports teams.

I get it - I have loved the Chicago Bears since I was a little girl, because it gave me a reason to hang out with my favorite brother.  But when fully-functioning adults become liquor-crazed idiots because they are rooting for or against a team over which they have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL by standing up or drinking certain beer or wearing a certain shirt, I want to throw up directly in their mouths.  This childish fascination people have with sports is fucking nauseating.  I watch a certain human being toggle between baseball, basketball, and fucking women's bowling (or whatever other bullshit sport might be on TV) every single time he's got a screen in front of his face.  His daughter came over to see him for father's day today. He came directly from a college world series game, said hello, accepted his presents (3 minutes tops), and then planted his ass on the couch to watch basketball.

Wow, how cool is it to have a connection with a bunch of athletes who wouldn't give you the time of day in the real world, but not be able to have a proper connection with the people who actually have blood ties with you?  Really impressive stuff there.  P.S. Those people for whom you root by shouting at the TV from your ass-couch position don't give a flying fuck about you.  They don't care about your stupid superstitions, nor do they want your shitty used-to-play-football in high school advice about why they're doing it all wrong.

IF YOU COULD PLAY THE SPORT, YOU'D BE DOING IT!

Maybe read a book or something periodically...

Dirt

"Dirt"

I have never felt such frustration
Or lack of self control
I want you to kill me
And dig me under, I wanna live no more

One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

I want to taste dirty, a stinging pistol
In my mouth, on my tongue
I want you to scrape me from the walls
And go crazy like you've made me

One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me 

You, you are so special
You have the talent to make me feel like dirt
And you, you use your talent to dig me under
And cover me with dirt

One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me 

Worst Shooting Ever in U.S.

Another day, another mass shooting in the "greatest country on earth"- the biggest body count of any mass shooting ever in America.  As of today, 5,831 people have been shot to death in America this year.  THIS YEAR!  Man, that second amendment is really doing some good things for America, right?

So, what will people say about this last one?  Probably some bullshit about how the shooting happened at a gay club, so they were inviting violence (or something similarly homophobic).  And then constitutionalists everywhere will argue that this recent shooting is yet another reason that people need to be armed - to protect themselves from crazy people.  Apparently, gay people who go out clubbing don't remember to pack their constitutionally protected guns, or else (of course) the disaster would have been averted.

It's getting pretty fucking ridiculous to keep defending the sale of automatic weapons in a country where mass shootings are (on average) a DAILY thing.

Hey, fellow Americans:  We have the right to murder each other!  The constitution tells me so!  (As if most people have EVER read all of the constitution...)

And then, the final casualty will be immigrants.  From what I've read, the person (or persons) who did this claimed affiliation with ISIS.  Of course.  A bunch of Islamic douche bags have taken over the headlines AGAIN.  America's ensuing rage will be aimed at Muslims rather than being aimed at the prolific presence and ease of accessing firearms in America.

Embarrassing.  On every front.
